Answer» A-B ineractions are stronger than those between A-A of B-B interactions. Vapour pressure of solution increases because more mumber of molecules of liquids A and B can escape from the solution. vapour pressure of solution decreses because less NUMBER of molecules of only one of the liquids escape from the solution. A-B interactions are WEAKER than those between A-A or B-B. Solution :if two liquids on mixing are to form a MINIMUM boiling AZEOTROPE, the vapour pressure of the solution formed MUST be maimum (boiling point will be minimum). This can happen if A -B interactions are weaker than both A-A and B-Binteractions.
